Piri-Stretcher®

I had a right leg pain that that lasted for more than 4 months. I can't even go shopping without sitting down every after 5 minutes of walking around. I work in an office that requires 8 hours of sitting so every 30 minutes, I had to stretch my right leg or even bend down because the pain was excruciating and my whole right leg was getting numb. I went to a Chiropractor for 6 sessions but it never helped me at all. I had to get a massage almost every 2 weeks, but it was only a temporary relief. I also went to urgent care at one point because I can't even stand and was absent from work for a few days. I got so desperate that I googled on what could be a cure to my sciatica due to Piriformis Syndrome. I saw one of the reviews about this Piri-Stretcher. At first, I was hesitant cause it sound so good to be true. I still bought it thought, what's a $60 stretcher compared to a $60 every session with a masseuse or a chiro. I followed the instructions properly, did the stretching one in the morning and one at night for a week. I was surprised that it really did relieve the pain, in fact... it cured my problem. It's been 7 months now, my sciatica never came back. Now, I can walk around for 2 hours without having to bend down and stretch in the middle of the department store.

Using the Piri-Stretcher daily for about 14 days, it seems to work...definitely gives a slightly different and better stretch than the "pigeon" in yoga. I had to stop for about a week because of minor surgery and I could tell the difference. I will keep on using it. Not a miracle cure, but it does work.

It is pretty high priced for what it does. A person could actually do this stretch on their own.

I've never written a review before but I had to with this. I ordered one and received it within about 3 days, great shipping time by the way, but as soon as I tried to use it I realized it was about 2 inches short of wrapping around my leg. Yes they say it's adjustable but only by stretching it. I called the company and was given a return number and ordered the pro which was $20 more but was told it was 2" bigger. I received it yesterday and used it last night and it was amazing. I had the best night sleep that I've had in 6 weeks. I used it again this morning and I feel so much better. Great device. My only advice would be if you are a larger person go with the pro, the middle one might not fit, but over all I am very happy

Somewhat helpful. Priced way to high for what cost pennies to make. Search for a lower priced stretcher!!! Rip off!

I have dealt on and off with Pirifirmis Syndrome for the past few years and have benefitted from the guidance of doctors, physical therapists and personal trainers, in addition to research. The Piriformis Stretcher is a product that provides an inferior stretch to what you can learn to do on your own from any good physical therapist, or certified and experienced personal trainer. Save your money and see a pro!

I'd been suffering with a piriformis issue for several months. Whenever I got up from a seated position, or straightened up after bending from the waist, it was as though the muscle was pinched and it was very painful. I tried numerous stretches, chiropractic treatment and several massages. I tried a roller. Nothing really helped. Since the piriformis is such a hard muscle to stretch on your own, I thought the Piri-Stretcher would help. And it did!! This product had me nearly pain free after the first day of use.. I've used it twice a day for three days now and am about 85% better. When the muscle does tighten up, the discomfort is so much less painful. I am thrilled, needless to say. I highly recommend it. Very easy to use.

This is a pretty expensive item for what is essentially a knee brace with a handle on it. But it allows you to do the reverse pigeon pose stretch while keeping the spine neutral and I have noticed significant progress using it. If you can use the wall for reverse pigeon comfortably do that. However if your piriformis is injured and really tight the handle will assist you greatly. I've progressed to the point where I don't need it anymore, but it helped me get there.
